'The Man In The Mirror' Vanished So Unceremoniously


In my schooldays (1983 - 1997) I grew up listening to Western music of a few selected rock n' roll bands and pop singers. Without a grain of doubt I can recall that the first name that flash across my mind when I think of one pop-star is none else but Michael Jackson.

A celebrity's life is not at its pinnacle if it doesn't have enough scandals which give critics their food for thought. Michael Jackson as a celebrity had enough of them. But, to me since my childhood, he has been an angel. His 'Heal The World' was like a hymn to us in school and the most frequently sung opening chorus on our Annual Day. It is the same song which we belted out to win the 2nd prize in an Inter University National Youth Festival.

I never had an inkling of an idea that the 'Man In The Mirror' would vanish away so soon!!
